Am I lost? Where are the 865's?

[acemcmac]

I see i875's everywhere, but where are the i865's? The ad for the soyo one in this month's MaximumPC and I'm drooling at the thought of a sis655 without the 2xddr400 flukes. And on that, what is the difference between the i875 and the i865? they both do 800fsb, dual ddr 400... I am totally lost and in desperate need of information. Does anyone out there have any information at all?

Total information deprivation alert!

Did you miss this?

No, I did see that, I just have been completely stunned by the total lack of information about the 865's... apparently the 875's are streamlined versions of them, but nobody is saying anything about them beyond that. I just figured that there would be some forward benchmarks or stats or anything and it just baffles me that nothing of any substance has shown up yet in light of the 875 launch.

865 has not been launched yet. It is very confusing that there are boards for sale early. BTW, 875 is the highend workstation and 865 is the desktop mainstream model.

Well, I guess things can only get more interesting from here... I guess we can consider the sis655's "dusted" ;-)

The Springdale I865PE board is everywhere.

Go to pricewatch and search for 865 to find vendors selling the MSI ones.
